WORD OF ADMONITION:
Many pastors would never have taken their so-called ministerial positions to begin with, if it weren't for the salary and fringe benefits.
They have created worldly careers for themselves at the expense of the kingdom of God and have manufactured the vocation of the "professional clergy.”

THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“The local church”
1) A totally unbiblical phraseology used by church leaders to justify their “employment;”
2) The professing Christians idol, replacing Christ in their lives.
“The centrality of the local church is crucial to biblical holiness.”
If a “pastor” is truly honest, he already knows the Real Truth that Jesus taught concerning “rule” and “authority.”
But….BUT he also knows that if he were to declare this Truth, he would
forfeit his job!
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10

"The Pastoral Office"
Is it safe to speak out and to share your view of Scripture at
your assembly?
LIE OF THE WEEK
“Scripture tells us to separate ourselves from all of those who do not belong to
a local church.”
Dressing Up?
"Dressing up shows reverence and respect. Wouldn’t we wear our best for a meeting with the President or our business associates? Then we should wear our best for God."
This kind of reasoning is heard all of the time. Does the Bible teach that reverence and respect is shown by dressing up? Doesn't "best," as we use it, mean "expensive"? Is this how the Holy Spirit defines "best?" Weren't the women who wore the elaborate hairstyles and gold jewelry in the first century wearing their "best?" Why weren't they applauded for their reverence?
Do the President and God use the same values in judging us? Or are you simply assuming that the Lord must be like the President? If my "best" suit is a tuxedo, wouldn't I be showing “great reverence” by wearing it? Was the "poor man in ragged clothes" irreverent? If reverence and respect is really shown by dressing up, why are we not “dressing up” on Wednesday nights? Or for home Bible studies? Or all the time? Does the Lord only require us to be reverent on Sunday’s? Are we trying to impress God? Or maybe our fellow Christians?
Do you actually think God will favor you more and help you grow spiritually because you are wearing a nice dress or a suit and tie?
